Chapter 981: Didn’t Your Dragon Tell You About It?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

He heard the question.

Jiang Hao looked at the old man in confusion.

He had been asked the same thing by the Xuanyuan Sword.

“Yes,” Jiang Hao said respectfully. “I’m indeed a human.”

The other party’s condition was very strange. He did not seem to have any aura, but he seemed dangerous.

He didn’t look like a dragon, but he had the aura of a True Dragon.

The old man nodded. He stared at Jiang Hao for a long time, then sighed.

“No matter how I look at you, you seem alone. Is there a living dragon beside you?”

The others turned to look at Smiling San Sheng.

Was there really a living dragon with him?

Jiang Hao frowned. He looked at the old man. “Is something the matter, Senior? Why would you say that?”

The old man smiled.

“It’s nothing surprising. It’s just that they’re guarding this place in any way they can. There are some things that you can take for yourself, but there are others that you aren’t allowed to touch.”

“Is there something inside?” Jiang Hao was curious.

He just wanted to wipe whatever divine treasure there was.

“Follow me.” The old man smiled.

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked into the hall.

Nangong Yue and the others were a little confused, but they followed behind.

Jiang Hao wanted to ask about the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl and Xiao Li.

He also wanted to ask what that lightning from before was.

Unfortunately, there were too many people here.

He was also quite curious about the Dragon Cave. He would first take a look at the surroundings.

The advantage of being here was that there was no one to disturb him.

He wondered if Hong Yuye was happy with what they had found so far.

He turned around to look at her. She seemed to have sensed something strange.

She looked as calm as ever, but something in her eyes flickered.

Jiang Hao looked away. He did not want to anger her.

Sometimes, he wondered why someone as powerful as her relied on a weakling like him to investigate the mastermind behind the stone tablet.

With his current strength, he could do nothing.

However, it was not his place to speculate on her plans. She was impossible to understand.

Little Wang was curled up by Jiang Hao’s feet. It trembled.

This was where the Dragon Clan was located, and there were beings related to dragons walking around.

It was afraid of everything.

It had always been afraid of Xiao Li, but it was not afraid of her to this extent.

It knew that nothing would happen to it as long as it didn’t offend its master.

However, other people were different.

The others could end it at any time.

“What do you think is in the Dragon Cave?” asked the old man suddenly.

After entering the hall, he saw a dark passageway that was unusually wide.

There was not much light there to show them the way. The lantern that the old man held up didn’t do much.

Their shadows were reflected on the wall under the light. Everything looked huge in the shadows.

“Does the Dragon Cave have the inheritance of the Dragon Clan?” Dongding Yue asked.

“Yes. Do you want it?” The old man looked at him.

“Yes.” Dongding Yue thought for a while and nodded. “If you don’t want it, Senior, I would definitely want to have it.”

The old man laughed. “You’ll see it later.”

“What about you?” he asked Jiang Hao.

“I don’t want it.” He shook his head.

“Oh?” The old man did not ask anything further.

As for Nangong Yue and the others, he did not ask them anything.

“There are many things in the Dragon Cave, but no True Dragons are living here,” the old man said.

“Senior, you aren’t a dragon?” Dongding Yue was surprised.

“No. I’m just a person who has fused with the soul of a True Dragon. I’m not a real dragon.” The old man looked at Nangong Yue and the others. “You should know something about that.”

“When we were sealed, we never heard of the Dragon Cave.” Nangong Hua shook her head.

The old man chuckled. “That’s because the Dragon Cave was renamed. It was previously known as Heaven Imprisonment.”

Nangong Yue narrowed her eyes when she heard that. She looked worried.

“Are you scared?” The old man took a step forward. “The Saint Bandits aren’t as fearless as I had thought.”

Jiang Hao was a little surprised. ‘The Dragon Cave had other names?’

“What did Heaven Imprisonment mean?”

“The Heaven Imprisonment imprisons a whole new world. It happened a long time ago.” The old man raised his lantern and looked at Jiang Hao. “Didn’t the dragon with you tell you about this place?”

Jiang Hao shook his head.

Even if he asked her, she wouldn’t know anything about it.

Xiao Li might think that was some kind of food.

The old man didn’t mind. Instead, he said, “There was once a dragon with extraordinary talent in the Dragon Clan. At first, no dragon paid attention to him. After all, he was born too early and had a disability. His future potential was… limited, to say the least. But one day, the Dragon Clan changed their mind. That dragon did something big. He joined forces with the experts of the various races and used a special technique to create a world in the dream realm. He used his origin soul as the foundation to create a new order. He wanted to use that world to replace the current world.”

Jiang Hao frowned. ‘Dream realm?’

It sounded familiar.

In just a breath, he thought of something.

‘Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl… Such a vicious thing is imprisoned here?’

He wanted to leave.

He was only here to look for the dragon, not the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl.

“And then?” Dongding Yue asked.

He realized that everyone else was listening.

“And then?” The old man laughed. “That was not allowed. They thought that as long as they controlled that, it would be fine. Who would have thought that that thing could not be controlled at all? In one night, more than half of the dragons were killed or fatally injured, and the earth was plunged into chaos. If it wasn’t for the person with great luck who used his lifeforce to suppress that thing with the Dragon Clan’s methods, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

“Why was it so terrifying?” Dong Dingyue asked again.

However, the old man did not answer. He stopped in front of a door. “There’s a Dragon Clan’s inheritance inside. Whoever wants to enter can pass the test and obtain the inheritance.”

The old man looked at everyone behind him.

Jiang Hao fanned himself but didn’t move.

Hong Yuye stood there quietly.

Nangong Yue and Nangong Hua had no intention of trying. They did not need the inheritance at all.

Dongding Yue hesitated for a moment. Then, he bowed to the old man and thanked Jiang Hao before walking in.

He wasn’t greedy, but he would not refuse an opportunity when it presented itself.

Even if there was danger, it would still be his choice to face it.

“Smiling San Sheng, if you need anything, you can come and find me.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Dingyue disappeared behind the door.

“He didn’t even ask anything. He definitely has a chance of obtaining the inheritance.” The old man smiled.

Just because someone went through the door did not mean they could obtain the inheritance. They had to learn to let go of something in exchange.

“What about you guys? What do you want?” asked the old man.

“Do you have any Scarlet Feather Divine Pills?” Jiang Hao asked.

“There are some in this place, but not here. You have to go to the alchemy room outside. There are only two left.” The old man smiled. “Do you want to go now?”

Jiang Hao shook his head. He wasn’t in a hurry.

The old man did not tell Jiang Hao to go. Instead, he looked at Nangong Yue and Nangong Hua. “Are you here to find the Saint Bandits?”

“Yes.” Nangong Yue nodded. “But I don’t think they will enter Heaven Imprisonment willingly.”

“Yes, your people will not enter the Heaven Imprisonment.” The old man nodded. “That thing was relocated by the Human Emperor.”

‘Relocated?’ Jiang Hao was a little surprised.
